The Omnivore’s 100: How Many Have You Eaten?

Do you think you’re an adventurous eater? Are you the type of person who would eat a snake, or an insect? Would you embrace a bowl of raw ground beef and bite into a snail with excitement? Well we’re about to find out just how adventurous you really are.

Very Good Taste blog came up with a list of foods that they feel every omnivore should eat in their life time,and they labeled it the “Omnivore’s 100“. They challenged us bloggers to copy the list, mark everything we have tried and cross off anything we wouldn’t. Bold means you’ve eaten it, crossed out means you wouldn’t touch it in a million years. How fun! I also took the liberty of linking those terms that might not be as self-explanatory to their Wikipedia definitions (you’re welcome!). So far, I’ve only tried 36 out of the 100 foods. It might have basic foods like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on there, but if you ask me this list is pretty ambitious!

I have to say, I had trouble with the crossing out process. The ones I crossed out have a 99.2% chance that I wouldn’t go near it, despite all possible persuasion. Other foods like frog legs, hare, curried goat and oxtail….well, they would take some persuasion but I might actually try them one day. Roadkill and insects, not so much. Overall I crossed off 11 items because they grossed me out.

Now it’s your turn to copy the list, take out the formatting and count how many foods you’ve eaten! If you have a blog, put this up on your blog and send us the link! :) Much credit goes out to Very Good Taste for coming up with this fun and crazy list! I hope you learned something about what’s out there – I know I did!
